Questions have been raised over whether people with diabetes should shield during the coronavirus pandemic.

After the NHS found 26 per cent of patients who have died in hospitals in England after contracting coronavirus had diabetes, the Government was asked whether people with the condition should be added to the list.

Speaking on the matter at the daily Downing Street briefing on Saturday, England's deputy chief medical officer advised those with type 2 diabetes to think about their diet and exercise to help minimise the risks.

We are reviewing all of these different risk factors together to try and give a much more proportional representation of who might be at risk," Dr Jenny Harries said.
